To really rant in response to this wanky facebook update from a friend

[TheDevilWearsPrimark]

Gah I know, I know facebook is evil, I only just reregistered and already I want to break things.

To all the unselfish mums out there who traded
in dark eye liner for dark circles, salon cuts for pony tails, long
soaks in tub for quick showers,late nights for early mornings,
designer bags for nappy bags and wouldn't change a thing, let's see
how many mums will repost this, mums... who don't care what they gave up, instead
... love what they got in return, repost this if your a mum and you
love your children xxx

I care HUGELY about what I gave up. I don't go round saying it in RL but I feel it every single day. So no, I won't be reposting this.

'Respost this if you are not a racist'

'Repost this if you think puppies shouldn't be kicked'

'Send to 10 friends or else you will have 7 years bad luck'

Remind you of anything? Just like horrible chain letters from when we were children.

Oh, and it's "repost if you're a mum" not "if your a mum"

god what a pile of fatuous drivel

defriend her

Oh WOW that's wanky

heh! heh!

I am off to put this in my status and see how many people defriend me this weekend

[hgrin]

cackle

Oh Fuck Right Off

(not you OP)

a) Yuck

b) Facebook - whaddya expect?

FFS!

How can you be friends with an eejit who posts drivel like that?

My friend posted that so I listed everything I did miss in a comment underneath.

yanbu, but will people stop posting about FB? every single time someone mentions facebook, it makes me want to log on there. [hangry]

argh!

I Loathe those messages. They are horrendous. A friend put this one up today in retaliation which has had me killing myself laughing all day:

"Put this as yourstatus if you know, or are related to, someone killed on Alderaan whenit was obliterated by the Death Star. People must understand that the Empire is a band of murderers bent on universal domination. The Rebel Alliance seeks peace for the galaxy, but the...Galactic Empire...continues to kill innocent civilians. 93% wont copy & paste this]

I hate them - I'd defriend a habitual smuggy mummy status post this if you love x/y/z in a heartbeat (and have done in the past).

Bling, i saw that too - I just assumed it was something to do with a Star Wars computer game....

Er, maybe it is? But that's not how me and my friend are taking it! It's the "post this if you ..." part that makes it look like retaliation to me.

I had one where the mum put that she would stalk, hound and drive her children crazy ... and no one would ever love them like she does.

Felt ill.

yanbu(but why haven't you got me on FB?)
I hate these crappy things

I've a firend on f/b who is forever posting such statuses, one really irritated me as it ended with 'if you dont repost you dont care....'

Soo one evening when I had nothing better to do but get irritated, I slightly modified an email I received a while back and posted the following on my status;

COPY THIS WARNING SO EVERYONE ON YOUR FRIENDS LIST IS AWARE.

I hate those hoax warnings, but this one is important.

If a man comes to your front door and says he is conducting a survey
...and asks you to show him your bum, DO NOT show him your bum.
This is a scam. He only wants to see your bum.

I wish I'd gotten this yesterday. I feel so stupid.

Good God at the idea of giving up anything I like just because I am a mother. My response would be ' I have not reposted as I have been too busy buying another Mulberry Alexa, eat ya heart out hun xx'

and she copied and posted it on her status five minutes later....

I had a friend who in her own words said a special 'Happy Mother's day to all the mother's who have to do all the cleaning and childcare themselves, I don't know how you do it'

I just wanted to post 'you are a twat'.

People who post these are the same people who used to forward those scaremongering emails - you know the type, "Women in [insert local area] are being targeted and are given money that contains a very rare drug that paralyses them and then theyre taken behind a dumpster and raped. This has happened to three of my friends, don't let it happen to you..."

hmm, the one TDWP got constructs women pre-children as terribly trivial doesn't it? I never had a designer bag pre-children and won't when they're grown-up either....

quite apart from the nauseatingness and the emotional blackmail.

I like the death star one.

It bothers me that it says "repost this if your a Mum". It's you're.

Probably shouldn't post it now since I am at work...

i think we should make up our own and see how many mn'ers will post it
